How to actually go gluten-free (without living in the free-from aisle)
You've decided to give gluten-free a proper go. Now what?
Most people start with the best intentions and quickly run into the same three problems: they don’t realise how many everyday foods (soy sauce, Marmite, sausages, Bisto) still contain gluten, they end up living on ultra-processed products from the free-from aisle, and they give up at six weeks because nothing has changed yet.
This article walks you through what actually works. What to eat, what to watch for, why the free-from aisle isn’t the answer, how long to give it before drawing any conclusions and what to look at if you’ve done all of that properly and still feel awful. Including my favourite gluten-free bread recipe, because bread doesn’t have to be a hard goodbye.
